FWIW...

 

Cheaper than dell workstation.

 

To be fair in price comparison, this is used and one generation back. "Used, quality"... is the way to go for buying a computer IMV.

 

Cheaper than refurbished dell workstation.

Maybe not. Dell workstation $193

 

No. That Dell one is WAAAAYYY old.... like 10 years already.

 

It has windows 10 on it so three years old.

 

I buy smart phones like that, Qualcomm 4 or 6 series chipset instead of series 8 badged Nokia 6 or 7.1 android one. $200 to $300.

 

Installed OS is not a marker.
Look at launch date for both the CPUs:
https://ark.intel.com/products/83359/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2640-v3-20M-Cache-2-60-GHz-
https://ark.intel.com/products/28032/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5345-8M-Cache-2-33-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB-
On top of that the first is 8 cores with 16 threads; the latter is 4 cores.
You get what you pay.
